Do Muslim womens have a right to were veils?

Question

who finks dat muslim women have a right to were veils without people tellin them to remove their veils?

Answer 1

They, like every other human on this planet, have the right to do whatever they want so long as it doesnt infringe upon the rights of others. Wearing veils does not infringe upon the rights of others, so if they want to they should be able to.

Many people below me like to point out what we would be allowed to do in other countries, but this is irrelevant. In this country there are no rules as to what anyone can wear, so if somebody wants to wear a barrel with suspenders they can. I and many others have dedicated our lives to defending that freedom, and I will fight to the death to ensure that any woman in this country can wear a veil if she wants or not wear a veil if she wants.

Answer 2

This is quite a nutty problem, because whilst it could be put like that, as a 'right' of the woman, you could also rephrase the issue as 'What right do Muslim men have to insist that women wear the veil'?
I think that ultimately, people have the right to be wrong, and if a woman freely chooses to indulge in discriminatory and misogynistic practises, no one can force her not to. You can not legislate against stupidity! But ultimately does it not beg the question 'is it really a free and informed choice?'

Answer 3

Everyone has the right to wear whatever they want without being harrassed. I am a muslim woman who wears a veil and there are often times people tell me to take it off but I just ignore it and make them understand that I am doing this because I want to do it!

Answer 4

They have the right to wear the veil and other people have an equal right to ask them to remove it when they are speaking to them or when seeing the lips move is important to learning how to pronounce words and is less intimidating. Yes, it is unusual speaking to someone with a veil on - if you can't see their face, you don't really know what they are thinking, you wonder what they are concealing, not physically I mean.

Answer 5

Someone said Christian girls can wear what they want:as opposed to muslim women can wear what they want.
I dont think so.

Yeh I fink dat u can were ur veil as long as westerners can wear what they like in all muslim countries.

Answer 6

I think people have no right to intrude into other people's religious beliefs. Yet at the same time, I believe that people shouldn't be too fundamentalistic and insist on wearing a garment to maintain their religious faith. Faith is beyond just washing hands before meals or wearing a veil.

Answer 7

have self belief or no longer, it is not element of the Koran yet extremely is a manner of existence subject. And to be honest, no longer all Muslim adult males make their females (as sources) placed on the burqa or veils. For the record, i'm a Muslim sympathizer yet extremely an observer.

Answer 8

With English like yours, NO.
The word 'women' does not need the 's'.
The word 'fink' should be spelt 'THink'.
The word 'dat' should be 'THat'.
The word 'were' should be 'weAr'.
The word 'tellin should be 'tellinG'
(Letter are in capital only to HIGHLIGHT them).

Answer 9

Yes they have a right. Personally, I think I could support that right alot more if I knew that it was because they want to wear the veil for themselves, not because a father, brother, or husband is pressuring them to do so.

Answer 10

They have a right just like everyone else! But i just don't think they should coz then it makes them seem second to anything! But they do have the right! If there were votings on this situation I'd put a big YES to let them wear their veils!
